(事实上，他们走遍了明尼苏达州并进入威斯康星州寻找新地点，甚至过夜露营以到达某些地方)”可知，为了寻找新的地点，她们走遍了明尼苏达州和威斯康星州，甚至在一些地方露营过夜。由此推知，她们挑战了体能的极限。故选D。【26题详析】推理判断题。根据第三段Colleen说的话““Ithinkitkeptbothofourmindsoffit,”Colleenadded.“Shecouldfeelmystressduringeverything.Ialsothinkthatithelpedprotectherfromallthecrazinessgoingon.Inaddition,itwasjustareallyfuntimeforthetwoofustobondandgrowandhealtogether.”(“我认为这让我们都不再去想它，”科琳补充道。“她在任何事情上都能感受到我的压力。我还认为这有助于保护她免受所有疯狂的影响。此外，对于我们两个来说，这真是一段非常有趣的时光，可以让我们建立联系、一起成长、一起治愈。”)”及最后一段的“Forherwonderfulmom,theadventurewaslessaboutthemilestonesandmoreaboutthetimetheyspenttogether.“Wehadsomuchfundoingus,beingus,andcamping,”shesaid.(对于她出色的妈妈来说，这次冒险与其说是里程碑，不如说是他们在一起度过的时光。“我们玩得很开心，做我们自己，还有露营，”她说)”可知，Colleen认为这是一段非常有趣的时光，让她们彼此照应，一起成长，这段旅程也加深了她们之间的感情，这对她很重要。故选D。【27题详析】词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“IttookWynnandColleenfivemonths,buttheyfinallyreachedWinnewissaFalls—their67thwaterfall—inAugust.

(Wynn和Colleen花了五个月的时间，终于在8月到达了Winnewissa瀑布——她们的第67个瀑布)”可知，Wynn和妈妈历经各种磨难，长途跋涉，最终完成了目标，因此，当做到这件事时，她一定很激动。由此可知，划线单词意为“激动的”。故选C。CChoosingtoforgetsomethingmighttakemorementaleffortthantryingtorememberit,researchersattheUniversityofTexasdiscovered.Theirfindingssuggestthatinordertoforgetanunwantedexperience,moreattentionshouldbefocusedonit.“Decadesofresearchhasshownthatwehavetheabilitytoforgetsomethingoutofourownfreewill,buthowourbrainsdothatisstillbeingquestioned.Oncewecanfigureouthowmemoriesareweakenedandthinkoutwaystocontrolthis,wecandesigntreatmenttohelppeopleridthemselvesofunwantedmemories,”saidJarrodLewis-Peacock,thestudy’sseniorauthor.Memoriesaredynamicconstructionsofthebrainthatregularlygetupdated,adjustedandreorganizedthroughexperience.Thebrainisconstantlyrememberingandforgettinginformation,andmuchofthishappensautomaticallyduringsleep.Theirfindingsnotonlyconfirmedthathumanshavetheabilitytocontrolwhattheyforget,butalsothatsuccessfulintentionalforgettingrequiresmoreactivitythanwhatisrequiredtoremember.“Aproperlevelofbrainactivityisimportanttothisforgettingmechanism.Toostrong,anditwillstrengthenthememory;tooweak,andyouwon’tchangeit,”saidTracyWang,leadauthorofthestudy.“Importantly,it’stheintentiontoforgetthatincreasestheactivationofthememory,andwhenthisactivationhitsthesweetspotattheappropriatelevel,that’swhenitleadstolaterforgettingofthatexperience.”Theresearchersalsofoundthatparticipantsweremorelikelytoforgetscenesthanfaces.“We’relearninghowthesemechanismsinourbrainrespondtodifferenttypesofinformation,anditwilltakealotoffurtherresearchbeforeweunderstandhowtouseourabilitytoforget,”saidLewis-Peacock.“Hopefully,wecanfindouthowweprocessandgetridofthosereallystrong,stickyemotionalmemories,whichcanhaveapowerfuleffectonourhealthandwell-being.”28.Whatremainsapuzzletoresearchers?A.Howourmemoriescanbestrengthened.B.Howourbrainsvoluntarilyforgetsomething.C.Whateffectunwantedmemorieshaveonourbrains.D.Whetherourbrainscanvoluntarilyforgetsomething.29.Whichofthefollowingcanbestdescribememories?A.Active.

anditwilltakealotoffurtherresearchbeforeweunderstandhowtouseourabilitytoforget,”saidLewis-Peacock.“Hopefully,

wecanfindouthowweprocessandgetridofthosereallystrong,stickyemotionalmemories, whichcanhaveapowerfuleffectonourhealthandwell-being.”(刘易斯·皮科克说：“我们正在学习大脑中的这些机制是如何对不同类型的信息做出反应的，在我们了解如何利用我们的遗忘能力之前，还需要进行大量的进一步研究。”。“希望我们能找出我们如何处理和摆脱那些非常强烈、粘稠的情感记忆，这些记忆会对我们的健康和幸福产生强大的影响。”)”可知，本文主要是为了说明忘记某事比记住某事更费脑。故选C项。DDanisharchitecturestudioBjarkeIngelsGroup(BIG)hasdesignedTerminusAICityOperatingSystemasacampusinChongqing,China,whichwillbeoperatedbyanartificialintelligencesystem.Everythinginthecitywillbeoperatedbythissystem.BIGhasdrawnuptheplansforTeminusGroup,whichwillhaveitsheadquartersatthecentreoftheartificialintelligence-runcitycampus.ThedevelopmentwillbelocatedinChongqingHi-TechIndustrialDevelopmentZoneandwillincludeCloudValley,thecampusstyleheadquartersofTerminusGroup.“Wehaveovertherecentyearsworkedwithseveraloftheworld’sleadingtechnologycompanies.WearethrilledtobringourexperiencetoChongqing,”saidBjarkeIngels,founderofBIG.“CloudValleyisimaginedasacitywherepeople,technologyandnaturelivetogetherinharmony—withspacesdesignedforalltypesoflife:humanlife,plantlife,animallifeandevenartificiallife.”BIG’sdesignforCloudValleyisintendedtodemonstratetheenvironmentalgoalsoftheproject.Greenroofpanelswillcreateopen-aircourtyardsthroughoutthecampus.Thesecourtyardswillhostartexhibitionsandsportingevents.Atnight,theundersideoftheroofpanelswillbetransformedintowhatBIGdescribedas“thelargestdigitaldisplayinChina.”InAICity,peoplewillliveinhomeswithautomaticallyadjustingsolarpanelsandhaveadigitalassistanttoruntheirlives.BuildingswillhavepowersystemscontrolledbyTerminusGroupsoftware.“Assunlighthitsthehouses,bedroomwindowsbecometransparenttoallowthenaturallighttowakesleepyresidents,”saidTerminusGroup.“Oncethelighthasfilledtheroom,anAIhousekeeperselectsyourbreakfast,matchesyouroutfitwiththeweather,andpresentsafullscheduleofyourdayusingTerminusGroup’ssmarttransportationsolution.”AICitywillhavee-bikesandself-drivingcarstocutdownontrafficjams.32.WhatisCloudValleyaccordingtoBjarkeIngels?A.Asmartcitywithalllifeinharmony.B.Acampusknownforhightechnology.C.Aspaceintendedforwildlifeprotection.D.Azonewithleadingtechnologycompanies.33.What’stheaimofBIG’sdesignforCloudValley?A.Toproducethelargestdigitaldisplay.
